No Noob is Good Noob

<< < (2/6) > >>

AbbyTheRat:
I also use Greenhorn and newbie, it's just annoying that noob which spinned off newbie became such a bad slur.

SirNotlag:
okay I will start calling new plays "powder monkeys" instead of my current naming of "YOU!" "idjit" "useless" and "Sally"

Squidslinger Gilder:

-Muse- Grimick:
I concur! Anything with a negative connotation should be out. (even newbie) if it ends with "ie" it feels negative and condescending.

I like greenhorn.

I like powder monkey even more. Let's popularize that.
I think I am going to incorporate that into my clan page to start the trend.
We set on Powder Monkey?

Kestril:
I never thought newbie was offensive. Isn't there a distinct difference between "newbie" and "noob"?

Or, maybe my internet slur vocabulary dictionary is outdated.

I call 'em "1's" (referring to their rank) usually instead of noob.

Of course, that doesn't work when Geormr decides to engineer.  :P
